Chapter 1955
Chapter 1955
The half a month that the Thunderwing Heart mentioned referred to the time in the outside world. If they were in this world, Zi Chen would have half a year.
For a cultivator at Zi Chen's level, half a year was too short. If he did not think of a way to delay, he would have to fight again in half a year.
Along the way, he had fought many battles, and the Against the Heavens' energy was never enough. Although Zi Chen was not afraid of fighting, he did not want to fight so soon. He did not want to live such a tight life.
After thinking for a while, Zi Chen looked down and suddenly saw the Universal Origin Cauldron. Only then did he remember that there was an existence not weaker than the Against the Heavens sealed inside. With a thought, the lid of the cauldron opened automatically. A beam of light rushed out and turned into a piggy.
The Yinzhong Grand Sage was about to brag about some things as usual, hoping to get out. However, before he could open his mouth, he saw a beam of light above his head. A wave of energy fell on his body, and then his eyes lit up. He left the cauldron and returned to the outside world.
The Yinzhong Grand Sage was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He transformed into a ferocious black tiger.
Zi Chen didn't say anything as he watched Piggy's body disappear in an instant. During this period of time, he almost believed that Piggy was once a Saint. As for whether or not he was a Great Saint, that was still to be determined.
Seeing the piggy still not moving after turning into a black tiger, Zi Chen smiled and said, "I thought you would run."
The Saint who had turned into a black tiger could not help but laugh. "Who do you think I am? Brat, you let me out without saying anything. You must have something to ask of me."
Zi Chen had long since experienced the piggy's intelligence. He did not argue and said directly, "It's not a request. I just have something for you to do."
"What right do you have to order me to do something?" The black tiger stared at Zi Chen, his eyes full of mockery.
"You can choose to refuse, but the result will be to return to the Universal Origin Cauldron. However, it will be difficult for you to come out next time." Standing up, Zi Chen looked at the black tiger and said with a smile that did not seem like a smile.
Black Tiger's expression began to change. He was clearly calculating the gains and losses.
Zi Chen turned around. With his back facing the black tiger, he stretched his back and took in a deep breath. The fragrance of the spiritual flowers entered his nose. He closed his eyes and an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.
At this moment, it could be said that Zi Chen had left his entire back to Black Tiger. Black Tiger stared at Zi Chen's back, his expression constantly changing.
"You don't have much time left."
With his hands crossed behind his head, Zi Chen slowly turned around and smiled at Black Tiger.
"Good lad, you win. Speak, what is it?"
Black Tiger clenched his teeth and said coldly. It was obvious that he understood the situation.
"You guessed correctly earlier. There are indeed people outside who want to kill me, and they are about to catch up. You need to stop them and stall for time."
Pausing for a moment, Zi Chen stared into the black tiger's eyes and said, "When I say stall for time, I mean in the real world outside, you need at least a year."
A year in the real world was twelve years in here. Although twelve years was still not enough for Zi Chen to condense all of his Origin Energy into heaven-defying energy, at least Zi Chen could save up a lot of heaven-defying energy to fight a longer battle.
"That's it."
Hearing Zi Chen's words, Black Tiger was stunned and a little stunned. The matter seemed too simple.
"That's it. I hope you can do it." Zi Chen nodded and said.
"Kid, this matter is too simple. Don't talk about a mere one year. This Saint here dares to declare that I will buy you at least ten years of time. Who knows, if this Saint is happy, I might even buy you a hundred years of time."
Black Tiger patted his chest and said confidently.
Ten years was equivalent to 675 years in here. With such a long time, Zi Chen would be able to condense even more heaven-defying energy.
If it was a hundred years, then if Zi Chen was given 6,755 years to cultivate, Zi Chen believed that when he left here again, he would be the strongest heaven-defying person of the same level.
However, such unrealistic thoughts should be kept in his heart and not taken seriously. After all, Black Tiger had to face groups of heaven-defying people of other races. Therefore, Zi Chen smiled and said, "Then it's up to you."
After saying that, Zi Chen continued to sit cross-legged and condense the heaven-defying energy.
Seeing that Zi Chen trusted him so much, Black Tiger's expression softened slightly. He turned around and walked out of this space.
"Master, you have to trust him."
After Black Tiger left, the Heart of Thunderwings returned to Zi Chen's body and sent a message.
"Although I don't really trust him, he probably won't harm me."
Zi Chen opened his eyes and looked in the direction where Black Tiger disappeared as he said indifferently.
"What if he just leaves? Or he colludes with other races to harm you?" The Heart of Thunderwings was still a little worried.
"There are heaven-defying people of other races outside. He can't leave at all. As for colluding with other races, it seems very unlikely. Moreover, colluding with other races is even more impossible."
Zi Chen smiled and closed his eyes again. He had already considered this problem before. The reason why other races could make him the enemy of the entire continent was not only because of their high-sounding words, but also because of the generous rewards after the ceasefire. This was the most important thing.
However, if this piggy was a former Saint, he naturally wouldn't care about these heaven-defying people. Moreover, these heaven-defying people didn't have anything he needed, so there was naturally no possibility of colluding with them.
Time passed in the process of condensing heaven-defying energy …
After about three months in this world, a fluctuation came from the spatial barrier. Then, Black Tiger turned into a stream of light and rushed out. His scarlet eyes were filled with anger. While he was still a distance away from Zi Chen, he shouted, "Boy, you want to kill this Saint!"
Zi Chen opened his eyes and looked at the flustered and exasperated Black Tiger. He smiled and said, "What do you mean by that?"
Black Tiger said angrily, "The people chasing after you are all from other races and are even heaven-defying people of other races. Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Zi Chen smiled and said, "Don't you already know this? I remember you saying that those heaven-defying people will come to kill me after knowing of my existence."
Black Tiger choked and couldn't say anything. Thinking of the words he said in the Cauldron of All Creation, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
There wasn't a single injury on his body. At most, he was a little startled. Black Tiger didn't care about it and carefully asked, "There are so many invaders from other races. Is there a large-scale invasion of other races?"
Zi Chen's originally smiling face became somewhat gloomy after hearing this. He nodded and said, "That's right. Because of my appearance, the other races launched a full-scale invasion and caused a lot of slaughter."
Seeing Zi Chen's appearance and feeling Zi Chen's disappointment, Black Tiger comforted him, "Boy, you don't have to blame yourself. This is fate. Even without you, the other races would still invade on a large scale. As for your appearance, it's just an excuse. You've fought with these heaven-defying people, right? How do you feel?"
After reorganizing his emotions, Zi Chen said, "It's not that great."
"Tch, if it's not that great, why would you come here?" Black Tiger's face was full of disdain.
"There are too many of them. Plus, everyone is looking for me. I had no choice but to come here after killing a few dozen of them."
"You killed a few dozen of them? Are they heaven-defying experts of other races?"
"No, they're heaven-defying experts of other races."
Black Tiger, who was originally curious, immediately widened his tiger eyes and cried out, "Impossible, you can kill a few dozen heaven-defying experts alone."
Looking at Black Tiger's shocked expression, Zi Chen casually said, "Why not? It's very easy. I killed them almost instantly."
The more casual Zi Chen was, the more surprised Black Tiger was. He looked at Zi Chen up and down, feeling incredulous.
"Since you're so strong, why are you hiding here?"
"I told you, everyone is looking for me. Plus, my heaven-defying energy hasn't been completely condensed, so I naturally have to run."
Then, Zi Chen briefly explained the process to Black Tiger.
After hearing Zi Chen say that all the cultivators of the Zhanwu Continent were looking for him, Black Tiger didn't show any excessive emotions on his face. He just nodded calmly.
After hearing Zi Chen's explanation, the shock in his eyes gradually faded. Black Tiger pretended to be indifferent and put on an experienced look. He smiled and said, "Hehe, these are all old tricks. It's nothing. But you're really amazing to be able to fight the heaven-defying experts of other races to this step."
"Why? Similar things have happened before?" Zi Chen asked curiously.
"In this world, you're not the only heaven-defying expert. Of course, such situations have happened before. However, not all heaven-defying experts can force the other races to stop fighting and take this step."
Looking at Zi Chen, Black Tiger said, "Brat, don't act like you've been wronged. Everyone is looking for you. From another point of view, you've completely stopped this battle. You've contributed greatly. On this continent, not everyone is stupid. There will always be people who are grateful to you."
Black Tiger changed the topic and said, "But don't be happy too early. The reason you can kill so many heaven-defying experts is not only because you have some tricks up your sleeve, but also because the heaven-defying experts who came were weak. In the group of heaven-defying experts, those who died were from some small places. The world they lived in only had a few kinds of laws, and even the laws of the five elements were incomplete. The heaven-defying energy condensed by such existences may be able to deal with ordinary heaven-defying experts, but they'll still die when facing some heaven-defying experts. It's true that heaven-defying experts are very strong, but it doesn't mean that they're invincible."
"Also, don't be fooled by the fact that you're killing so many people. That's because those Heaven-Defying experts from big places haven't made their move yet. Once they make their move, it'll be a real death trap. You can only be considered a true expert if you survive their attack or kill them."
Hearing Black Tiger's warning, Zi Chen nodded and then asked, "Since you're back, how much time did you buy for me?"
